Origami frogs are fun to play with and are very easy to make

You'll need an index card. First, you hold the card so that the long side is going up and down. Fold the top right corner down so it matches up with the left side and makes a point at the top. Then unfold it. Do the same thing to the other corner and unfold again.

Next, pinch the creases at the top two corners and put them all the way together. Then push the two triangles down. Separate the two triangles and push them outward so that they are down flat on the card.

Fold the bottom corners of the triangles you have just made so that they touch the top point. Now fold the right obtuse angle toward the center of the card, so that the edge of the card is at the center line of the card. Do the same with the left obtuse angle.

Now fold the bottom of the card up to the center, where the small triangles meet the obtuse angles. Now fold the edge of the card that used to be at the bottom back down so that it reaches the crease you just made. Now you have your frog.
